Canonicity:
Everything stated in this video is directly taken or paraphrased from the canon sources listed above,
EXCEPT
- The Incubation time for Khezu Whelps. It is never mentioned in any texts I found.
- The Red Khezu Hypothesis. All we get in the lore is "we call Red Khezu a subspecies, but who knows maybe the whites are just albinos? hohohoho how mysterious :3"
- White Khezu being sensitive to sunlight. I needed to somehow justify as to HOW the Guild ever even conceived the idea of albinism in the White Khezu, and photosensitivity is the easiest symptom to observe.
You're awesome man!😊😊😊❤❤❤❤
Thanks for these videos
Why did you change your profile pic and keep up the amazing lore
This monster create by the every steam
Great episode! Only thing I missed would have been a mention of Shrouded Nerscylla but hey... one day in Temnocerans maybe?
If Capcom and the MH Dev team were to ever do bonus content again like in the older MH games where they did Ecology vids and what not, I would hope that they hire you to do it. Imagine like the good ol' days where you unlock bonus content just by playing the game and completing milestones.
That would be amazing! But seeing as they did nothing of the sort with World and RIse, my hopes are not that high.
@@thed-man2223 Rise didn't try anything to make its animals more realistic tbh, so it may be that the next mainline game could have something like it.
@@LeoTheYuty Let's hope for the best. MH popularity shot up a lot because of World and Rise, more lore/worldbuildung would make sense in that regard.
@@LeoTheYuty its by different mh team, should've see its coming if you played gen/genU
@@alderwield9636 I know. So?
I love the history section where you imply that nobody in the monster hunter universe likes fighting this thing either
just to add onto this, whenever khezu uses its electricity, you can notice that it's tail widens and attaches to the ground. this is to protect itself from electrocution via grounding itself with it's tail.
That would mean if you could cut the tail off, you could make a khezu become self destructive with its thunder
@@rexex345 i think in monster hunter frontiers that was actually a mechanic...you couldn't cut off the tail but you could disconnect the tail from the ground stunning the khezu if I remember rightly. Mind you when you hit the tail your weapon would bounce off very easily as it had very high hardness.
Who wouldn’t be terrified of a monster that humiliated a bloodborne speedrunner?
This is by far my favourite episode of your new series, for now at least.
Something you didn't mention in the albino hypothesis is the fact that due to khezu predominantly reproducing asexually (technically quasi-asexually) through whelps, their gene pool is quite narrow. This could help explain how a lone random mutation led to the high number of white khezu.
KhezuNation/10
This monster has always made my skin crawl on sight. I love it.
Khezu was a monster i could never take seriously. Come on, its a chubby, fat, ugly thing that looks literally like male genitalias.
Compared to the mighty Rathalos, Togrex or even Nargacuga, it felt more like a joke monster
This mothersmucker and his cousin (Gigginox) haunt my nightmares CONSTANTLY.
I usually feel SOME guilt when slaying most monsters... Not with them though.
Genuinely one of the most disgusting things I know. The reproductive shenaniganry just strengthened by already burning hatred for these things.
@@purpleenthusiast5814 Right?!
This thing reminds me of the mass production eva units, its face consisting of only a mouth disturbs me to no end
@@fiendish9474 Oh GOD you're right...
hmmm I found a lot of comments saying that those 2 creeps them out, meaning the monster design and theme did it job properly
I love the creative explanation for how the term "subspecies" came to be used to describe monsters that are distinctly _not_ subspecies by any scientific classification, mostly because that's basically what happens in reality. Palette swaps are created by the devs and then they're just called subspecies because that's what we all know them as (even if that wasn't technically their intention way back in the day.)
Your work does such a good job of immersing me that I legitimately almost looked up "What the Farcaster" with the intention of reading it.
Awesome and interesting video.
Of all colors, red has the largest wavelength. When light travels deeper through water, red is the first color to be absorbed and therefore invisible. I think it wouldn't be a stretch by MH standards to apply that concept to a humid cave environment.
If that were the case, red khezu's color might actually help it camouflage in deeper caves that red light cannot penetrate. It would also make sense for white khezu to lose the red as to not stand out in an open environment.
Yeah I was expecting a interesting a grim video seeing as it’s one of the more notorious monsters. Very nice, and very interesting to see both the klutz Kut-Ku and the “I will bully a deviljho into leaving me alone” Garuga
I don't care if it came first, but to me the Khezu will always be outclassed by the Gigginox. Loved the idea that I could drink a cold drink in the cold environment to become invisible because it only sees in heat.
I just realized that were two different monsters now.
@@DaviHorner one use poison and the other one use lightning
Unless it’s baleful Gigginox which is literally just Khezu again
They are technically in the same family by the wiki, as it'll say related monsters. It includes subspecies/variants and other monsters (in this case, Gigginox)
Same with Fatalis with the subspecies/variants and including Dire Muralis.
@@veadricikari Okay. But I still like Gigginox more.
I should NOT be as fascinated by these eldritch horror beasts as I am, but damn, you make it easy to listen to this pale horror's lifestyle
I just watched a National Geographic documentary and Oceaniz's videos have the SAME QUALITY. So much effort i love all of his Monster Hunter vids they are kinda relaxing 😂
It is now my headcanon that there is a version of this dude in universe doing basically this: compiling all the information about monsters that he can get his hands on into an easily digestible medium for the curious. Might be a bridge between the guild and the common people, as apparently the Hunters Guild is seen as madmen by most people who are not in it.
ah, the weenie wyvern
also LET'S GOOOO THE BIRDS ARE NEXT
Ah yes, Khezu; the monster with the best theme song. x)
LET'S GOOOOOO.
Not a Khezu fan but you did a pretty damn job making them seem very cool. The whole ordeal with Red Khezu is especially fascinating
Whoever designed the khezu is a monster
Thanks! I hate Khezu even more now!
(I actually like Khezu design-wise, but it's just soooo freaky. Also, loving the videos!)
And it also looks like a pe-
@@OtakuUnitedStudio foreskin wyvern.
Good job sneaking in the Odibatorasu theme as the intro music lol
With the intro and all this episode, it really looks like TV documentary series
Friday afternoon at work
What better time for an Ecology documentary ?
Me after killing 5 absolutely horrifying and terryfying pale mfers to get some cool lookin assasin gear
Les go boys new ep out
One thing that I find interesting is how when spiking the electricity on their skin up, the Khezu grounds itself using the tail, so the eletricity runs through the moist skin but doesn't harm the internal organs.
Also, since the Khezu appears to be related to the Gigginox, that suction cup at the end of its tail is probably the cloaca, which moved towards the tip of the tail and became versatile to the point of being able to hold the creature's weight and even bite.
I love your work so much! Thank you got putting in so much effort, and your passion really comes through. Keep up the good work
this channel always makes me want to play MH again.
feel like in watching net geo wild but with monster hunter monster
Oh man i was waiting for this so much‼
I love these videos so much
Hell ya the episode for my favorite monster!
Love your work man! Thanks for putting so much effort! Your passion really is inspiring! Keep up the amazing work! 🔥🔥🔥🫡🫡🫡🫡🫡
PALE EXTRACT EPISODE LETS GO
What a great episode
Love your videos and work Man 🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤
I honestly thought he was gonna say that the Red Khezu is just a sunburnt Khezu, and it increased aggression is becomes us Hunters are effectively "slapping its sunburn"
Wooah! This episode goes hard 😲! The production value! The presentation! The information! This is my favorite episode so far 👌💯! Never thought I'd be watching a 23 min video of Khezu and yet here I am 😅Great job, Oceaniz
that guy with a hammer crushing 10 khezu at a time with a relative eeezzzz be like:
bro this is bullsh**
awesome video! always love these documentaries. You should maybe consider making a channel membership as well!
Great timing with this episode for me personally! I'm working on a story that ties the mainline games in with the Stories spin off and the characters get ambushed by a Khezu, so I've been looking for more info on them. Love this new ecology series! You and Unnatural History Channel are my go to for monster hunter ecology info 💖
hey, I've got interested in your story, can I read it somewhere? Played only Stories and Stories 2 but the idea of mixing hunters and riders sounds awesome
These deserve more views
Fantastic Video as Always! :) 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 ❤❤ 💖💖
Ah yes the PTSD monster
Jesus, this sounds like something out of Warhammer 40k!
Khezu have a secondary method of detecting prey, a highly refined sense of smell. This is why dung bombs will stun them rather than driving them off - the overwhelming stench overloads their senses and leaves them reeling.
Another straight banger
you know what could be cool.
doing this kind of video for stalker, preferably anomaly for the graphics or maybe even gamma because of the new 3d models for some of the creatures. i mean i cant seem to find such a video, and i enjoy the monster hunter ones on your channel, but i mean stalker would be far from what monster hunter is. but could be so cool.
so a definit video recommendation that would be liked by alot of people :D
Fucking incredible video. Truly an inspirational piece of fan work. Special shoutouts to the Erectile Dysfunction joke about how Khezu lose the ability to stretch their necks when they get older. I haven't seen anyone mention it in the comments yet, but that shit got me laughing for real. Amazing stuff!!!
Greatly aprishiated the rime it took to force this video. Very engrosing and i personaly love your kezu lure. I wish it was included in mhw. Was rsther gutted it was not in the new world in one form or both.
Found your cincepts rsther interesting too. The way you explained/ proposed the albino premis ot felt well right. From a long term mh fan who played the fredome gra on psp i realy found this video connecting with my past battles with kezu.
Kezu, we will meet again sometime. I promise.
1:33 *"overconfidence is a slow and insidious killer.."*
8:20 aint no way bro khezu head is wild💀
I am so glad i found this channel through the MHW ecology videos.
The forbidden flashlight
Keep it up and let’s see more monster species and I hope you’re doing well😊
omg i forgot about the babys and how they latch on you like giant leeches. this mon was definitely my most disliked target to come up when i played freedom unit on my psp
I feel so immature for not being able to keep a straight face watching this video
Only thing I like about Khezu is the great sword I make off of it. Very unique design.
I feel like with a lot of monster hunter subspecies their rarity and strength can be used to explain each other. Being stronger requires more energy for upkeep, thus limiting animals compared to their slightly weaker relatives. After all, Red Khezu may be stronger and better at hunting than reg Khezu, but I imagine the need to hunt more is still enough of a drawback that the cavers have an easier time surviving.
After all, there is no such thing as a "more evolved" animal, and seemingly useless and weak animals tend to be more successful (as evidenced by Popo being found all over the Monster Hunter world, while the presumably related Gammoth is ludicrously rare)
I never noticed until your frozen gameplay that the Rise model has pumping blood travelling through the veins. Euugh.
How he did this without any dick jokes is a mystery 😂
I really don't know what it is but I've always been fond of Khezu. I'm glad they got their chance in the spotlight.
‘Ugly mofo’
Honestly I like Khezu of how disturbing it is.
I mean he get in the top 10 favorite monster in capcom survey for nothing
I donkt knwo why but i love that creepy blind bastards so much :D , they deserve more variants and love
Wonder when we’ll get a vid on the ecooogy pseudo Wyverns
I forgot why Khezu was so horrifying untill you got to the whole chestburster part
How could this be??
Of course this one would be the only time in the whole series the word ‘penetrate’ isn’t used even once.
🧐
I day this video would've fot better as a October release.
As a fan of Giganox, I am sad that there was no mention of it in this video.
he will have his time in the spotlight ;D
I don't even play these games, but these videos are amazing to watch, it's so cool to learn about creatures outside of serires I am familiar with.
That being said, this thing is one my filthy mind could not take seriously, my mind is isn't in the gutter, it's in the sewer system with Pennywise.
“The single most common terminators of life are assumption and prejudice”🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
maybe the red kehzu is what happens when a cave gets overpopulated and the pheromones all kehzu release cause it to have a different phenotype that is more suited for it to find a new cave that can claim as it's home.
khezu scared me shitless as a kid , mow i know why
Yippee
Все сложил в ролик это уметь надо. красаувчег
am I the only one who thinks that the Khezu looks like... well something downstairs?
Pls mate do zinogre next
I remember this bastard roar stun locking me in monster hunter 2
so why can kezu welps be found on kushala skins on the ice maps
Probably attached themselves to Kushala before they Shed their rusted scales/skin or just used the shedded scales/skin itself as both shelter and food
Thunder is a sound.
Wait, if khezu whelps needs a living host to survive how do you explain finding them on the snowy mountain latched on to the ehed skin of a kushala daora?
Lewd monster.
Could it be that the red khezu is just an older khezu that has adapted to outside since it's been moving around it's whole life?
ok im trying to craft & make a sick set armors and those video ar just so good ( distracting ) pausing the video for a quest is hard . so insted i just stand ther in front of the smithi ...
Brachydios and devil, Joe hope so
Khezu the silly
oh no, the scl*ng wyvern
Are the Khezu the same as the giganox or are they entirely different species?
Different Species, same Infraorder. You can find the Species Family Tree used for these videos here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vr0ThfPbrzj87DinYiB-r6P2QFog8oyRDPGy7OlF9wk/edit?usp=sharing
@@Oceaniz Hm, thank you, I'll take a look at that, the Khezu reminded me so much of the giganox, and thank you for the great content!
What about zenith khezu
Deviants when??
Giginox couldn't compete with the khezu vibe. Don't get me wrong, the gigi still has its vibe but not as much impact IMO.
Khezu is proof that nature is capable of producing mistakes
I have to ask: would the Rotten Vale be a ideal place for Khezu to thrieve?
probably?? but they woukd probably get a more grey color as that place is full of rotten moist corpses hence oxidizing khezu's skin...
As a wise model once said about Khezu: " Moisture is the essence of wetness, and wetness... is the essence of beauty."
Ik people don’t like khezu but I always thought it was neat, just a freaky lil guy
wondering when will they make a different variant of khezu (maybe as a joke make a pink one😂😂)
I have zero interest in MHW lore but this video is amazingly captivating and well done
as soon as you started talking about hermaphrodite I knew we are getting into some hentai shit. Do we actually have official source on this ?
It's open season on these things. Hunter rules don't apply, I want them extinct
foreskin wyvern.
